Medugu looked tired but dared to change pace the last mile.

- I'm a little tired but it feels good. My focus was to run as fast as I could and I didn't care about the rain or think of the weather, says Medugu, who improved his record time from last year by one minute, on sounding Danish for the Liding Race. She is competing for Danish Köge.

- Lidingö is my second home, states the smiling Danish-Kenyan.

Lindholm: "It became a tox spur"

Hanna Lindholm had a wild sprint with the two Yesimbebet Tadesse, an Ethiopian who competes for a Norwegian club. The Hudding runner came from behind and was close to catching up and both got time 1.52.57, which was below the previous track record.

- I had some head start at the beginning. I did not have a watch, but drove on feeling. I did not keep track of the two and it became a spurt spurt in the end. I'm really happy with the times, says the three-year-old Hanna Lindholm, who has the Swedish record at the marathon.

Long jump Andreas Otterling was allowed to run alongside the record-hunted Kenyan with the wreath towards the goal.

Johan Olsson in goal shortly after the ladies' match

Shortly after the steamer, skier Johan Olsson ran in goal on 1.53.19 and a 52nd place in the men's class, significantly worse than he has performed in the last two years.

- I felt it was heavy right away. I haven't been prepared enough, was thinking about getting off already after a mile, and the last seven miles I wobbled forward, says the ski hero.

Former biathlete Fredrik Lindström, who retired last spring, became 201st in the men's class on 2.06.09.

The skiing star Frida Karlsson was one of the race's biggest poster names in advance, but was forced to return due to a feeling in the leg membranes.
